BIS Certification
Bureau of Indian Standards product certification — ISI Mark, CRS and Hallmarking
Overview
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) administers several product certification schemes — the ISI Mark for products covered by Indian Standards, the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for electronic and IT goods, and the BIS Hallmarking scheme for gold and silver jewellery. Many product categories require mandatory BIS certification before they can be sold in India. Estabizz provides end-to-end BIS certification support — from IS standard identification and testing coordination to grant of licence.
